If it wasn't for John Peel, there would be no Joy Division and no New Order. He was one of the few people to give bands that played alternative music a chance to get heard, and he continued to be a champion of cutting-edge music throughout his life. He will be genuinely missed by millions of music fans all over the world, both inside and outside the music industry. Our thoughts are with his family."

He was the first person to play our single and we would often try out new songs when we did sessions for his show. He knew what was going on and went out of his way to promote good music and the underdog. He was a nice guy too."
